Not sure what to expect during cosmetic dental procedures? 

Cosmetic dentistry represents a combination of multiple treatments such as dental veneers, dental crowns, and tooth whitening.

Its goal is to ensure at the end of the process an aesthetic result through a balanced smile that contributes to well-being and a lasting functional result that contributes to dental and general health.

Below is a timeline of the steps normally required for cosmetic dental treatment.

 Our smile makeover process

Initial consultation and examination

The dentist evaluates your dental and medical history, oral health and intraoral situation, performs imaging investigations (digital intraoral and facial scan, radiography, CT), will clarify your expectations and, based on all these considerations, will present you with the different treatment options

Detailed clinical assessment and digital simulation

The multidisciplinary team performs a detailed clinical evaluation and establishes the necessary treatment plan followed by a digital simulation to preview the final result

Tooth preparation

For a stable prosthetic treatment over time, it is necessary that the supporting tissues of the teeth (gum, bone) are healthy

If inflammation is found, it is stabilized before preparing the teeth for the prosthetic stage

If additional treatments are necessary, for example root canal treatments, fillings, tooth whitening, they will be performed at this stage

If necessary, minimal grinding is performed to ensure optimal application of the veneers

In the case of prosthetic works, the tooth structure is prepared to allow for the impression and subsequent fixation of these

In certain cases, before the final works, a preview and intraoral testing stage of the final result is necessary by applying temporary wax-up & mock-up works for a period of 4-12 weeks

Impression taking for making dental veneers/crowns

A digital impression of the prepared teeth is taken, and the dental veneers/crowns are custom-made for each person in the dental lab for a perfect fit

Fixing dental veneers/crowns

In the case where temporary works were used, they will be removed so that the dental veneers/crowns can be fixed. Trials are performed to check the aesthetics and functionality

After completion, you can view the newly transformed smile, ready for the red carpet.

It is important to remember that dental veneers are primarily an aesthetic treatment and will not address major orthodontic problems, cavities, or tooth loss. 

Before receiving veneers, your teeth must be strong and stable enough to support them, so in some cases orthodontic treatment may be required and the final treatment may be aesthetic.

For a successful cosmetic dental treatment, a detailed diagnosis and documentation of each case is required, the multidisciplinary team at Dentelo Clinic being essential in this regard. Close collaboration with the dental lab through the use of modern and digital technologies ensures the desired personalized results in a predictable way.
